Guardian Commander - Master Arts Review
Taunt is a great single target skill that forces to gain aggro. It is a must for defenders and should be acquired when available. Shield Bash should also be acquired for combo oriented parties. Talent Art is unnecessary as it does not help the performance of your Defender.
Guardian Commander - Master Skill Reviews
| RANK | Skills | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Protector's Pride | ★★★★・ |
| 15 | Mind for Guarding | ★★★★・ |
Both Skills are useful for pure Defenders such as Heavy Guard. If you are a defender, make it a priority to learn them.
